We’ll recommend the best option based on build-up, gum health, and sensitivity.

If you have sensitive teeth or sore gums, tell us — we can adjust settings and take breaks as needed.
04 Will ABC remove stains from tea, coffee, or smoking?
ABC can reduce surface stains, especially from tea/coffee and some smoking stains.

We’ll confirm the expected length when we assess your mouth and discuss your goals.
